I'm having the same issue with Logitech V20 speakers on Ubuntu 10.04. I've noticed that running alsamixer from the terminal and adjusting the PCM slider controls the volume smoothly. The default mixer that is integrated with the desktop (in Sound Preferences) doesn't work properly with the USB speakers.
By watching alsamixer while adjusting the output volume in the Sound Preferences dialog, I get these results: - Prior to the first notch, the PCM level is 0 and the sound level is very quiet - At the first notch, the PCM level jumps to 23 and the sound level is still fairly quiet - One step above the first notch, the PCM level jumps to 80 and the sound level causes localized earthquakes So while there is a workaround (using alsamixer), it would be awesome if the Sound Preferences slider worked smoothly. Keep us posted.
